Rockschool proudly announces the launch of Rockschool Guitar: The Movie. Covering all the exam elements in Debut & Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 Guitar, these three DVDs are introduced by Rockschool examiner Andy Moore, and ITV presenter Charlie Webster.

Andy gives tips on posture, demonstrates techniques (good and bad!), and explains how best to approach the pieces and all other exam material. Experience an exam first hand as Charlie is put through her paces under the watchful eye of Rockschool's Director of Academic Affairs, Jeremy Ward.

Each DVD is priced at £22.50 and can be purchased direct from www.musicroom.com or any good music shop. Charlie and Andy will be promoting the launch of Rockschool Guitar: The Movie at the London International Music Show on Friday 13th June (Stand C6), where the DVDs will be available at a special show price.
